Give HN: I have an idea but I am already doing something else.....
I have an idea for an "Adult Social Networking" concept, say Friends With Benefits. I have a great domain name.
I am already working on something else that is totally where I want to be.
So who wants the idea and domain name?
No, I am not just going to give it away to the first person. I am going to e-mail interview for it as well as ask some technical questions about your background.
So e-mail is in my profile. Please allow me adequate time to respond.

- jason_slack 13y agoI've seen this before. In this case, I am already doing something I want to be doing. So it is an idea that maybe someone else can execute on. Maybe they can't.
- stevekemp 13y agoI've worked in this space, and sadly I suspect most people would struggle with it. Any newly-launched dating/hookup site suffers from the same problem: lack of users. You promote it, you seed it with your friends, and then the obvious thing happens: * Users find your site. * Users sign-up, rarely. * Users searches the site for people in their vicinity. Finds zero results. * User logs out and never returns. I tried to solve this problem by launching in a craigslist-esque fashion, launching on a city-by-city basis. But sadly there is a lot of scummy affiliate marketing in this area, and advertising is just a way of losing money quickly. Most of the big sites are paid, and the free sites struggle unless very niche/location-centric..
- jason_slack 13y agoYeah, I was doing some research on the space and it really seems that 1-2 companies own all the paid sites, just re-branded a bit to look unique, different.
